I’m hating on the word ‘ cuppa ‘.

[hattie43]

A Facebook friend is really giving me the ick over her constant use of the word ‘ cuppa ‘ . I have developed an unreasonable hatred of it .

who fancies coming over for a cuppa
where’s the best place in town for a cuppa
I drink at least 6 cuppa’s a day
how do you take your cuppa

Its cup of tea

Ahhh just ahhh

Cuppa tea lass? tis life butbyeah, i hate
the word lunch, southerners introduced that o into the north east a few years back, insteada dina..drives me mad ❤️

Love a coffee - hate a “brew”

I assume the OP is not from the North.

Yes - hate ‘cuppa’, ‘food noise’, ‘lush’ ‘picky bits’ and ‘holibobs’, also ‘Jean’ for jeans and ‘lip’ as in ‘a red lip’ instead of red lipstick.

The original post has been deleted by Mn which is good.

'Hating on' is awful. Just hating will do.
The word cuppa is awful.

Fair enough.
Sadly, nobody now can make their own judgement but I know I was neither rude nor unkind.
I'm sorry I put you to the trouble of contacting the mods and hope you feel better now.
I would take it as a kindness if you didn't @ me again just to tell me a post of mine has gone.
I presume I'd find out soon enough and it's a nuisance to have to turn the @ facility on and off.

I’m not a fan either. My friend calls it a brew but spells it “bru”. Terrible all round.

Thank you. Yorkies was my first thought when I read the OP. Im from Ilkley in Yorkshire and we've always always called them 'Yorkshires'. My mum did, my dad did and all my grandparents did. A Yorkie is a small long haired terrier.

I`m hating on "my bad"🙄

I'm bothered by the spelling. Surely it should be "bickie" not "biccie" and, while I'm at it, it should be "prezzie/prezzy" not "pressie".

I've never knowingly uttered the word "cuppa", it's horrible.

I WISH people wouldn't always use "grab" to mean: get; obtain; have; take. It's the implication that we're all entitled to be "grabby". To me it's a bit of linguistic evidence of what used to be called "the decline of civility".
Mind you, I am old and incorrigibly opinionated.

Also ‘a tasty cup of coffee’ or a ‘delicious coffee’. Wrong.

Ooo! Is there a Pedant's Corner? Where is it? I may be on the brink of finding my tribe.

Biccie and brekkie for me! 🤢

Love it

People who can't say it cants spell drawers
It makes me so bloody upset. Oh and agree with most things here but a cuppa I can tolerate

I cannot abide ‘Hun’ and the usually simpering voice of the person saying it.

@hattie43 "Hating on" is giving me "the ick." (closes door on the way out).

It's actually called Pedants Corner! Currently discussing clique being pronounced as click. People are OUTRAGED.

I was actually referring to the initial post by a PP which I noticed had been deleted. The one with the first criticism of the punctuation. It wasn't sent by you.

I think MN only delete posts that in their view breach their guidelines. So if they have deleted yours that would be the reason.

Do turn the @ off if you feel I have been unhelpful.

Totally agree about hubby. Makes my toes curl

Cuppa is better than brew ..

The ick phrase pisses me right off never mind cuppa or brew.

In our house it's a "Tuppa Tea" after one of my siblings couldn't say "cup of tea."

I think that's quite sweet.

I've got an irrational, visceral hatred of the word 'spud'. It's a potato, ffs.
